On the plus side, links like these are handy to give to people who complain about the "senseless" shooting of noobships

Only a fool would move PLEX, leave it where you bought it and it is safe, just use it as you need it.

No. Returning them to redeem items will make them redeemable in that station only. First time redeeming can be done wherever you want.
As DaReaper stated, it use to be like that.
Obviously CCP has changed it so they can see more Gaming News Headlines written about Eve Online.

And people wonder why some players shoot noobships all the time.

What do you expect from a website that's giving Anita Sarkeesian free, uncritical publicity? Next up: Eve Online is full of whiteracistbigotmisogynistichomo/trans/otherkin/whateverphobes and a hashtag campaign to remove their advertising from the interwebs. I'm kind of worried to have you agreeing with me.
Personally I avoid the whole issue like the plague. Both sides have done some pretty despicable things, so the sooner the whole thing dies down the better.
Don't hate.

Noriko, keep in mind that there is at least "some" validity to the statement.
The PLEX do have a real world value, whether the person in question paid that amount in actual currency or not.
So while the person may not have lost that much actual cash (or maybe they did, who knows), he did lose items that had that much actual value if they were purchased with cash.
As you say, it's more sensational to state it in more simplistic terms... but it's not entirely inaccurate.

^ This x1000.
Does it have more impact if we associate dollar amounts with ISK? Sure. Does that make it sensational journalism? Possibly. But take these two items into consideration:
A) It is, as Ranger said, not without and element of truth, and...
B) Your average layperson has absolutely no point of reference. Associating dollars with in-game currency helps render the loss comprehensible.

In the past I've likened it to buying a lottery ticket. Sure the chance of getting a big win is minute - but the cost is trivial and the jackpot can be huge, so why the heck not?

But we are sociopaths, psychopaths and bullies and must simply get a kick out of it. So I'm told.

While it wasn-¦t the smartest move to do people tend to forget that "losing a lot of money" is defined by the person who lost it.
For me personally losing 1500$ won-¦t bother me too much. I am getting "pissed" when I lose things in a stupid way but I couldn-¦t care less about the money. For another person losing that many PLEX / $ might be a desaster so it-¦s all about how much you have. Same goes for ISK. When I have trillions of ISK who cares about burning a few billions here and there? On the other hand, when you start playing EvE and don-¦t plex your account a few million ISK might be a lot of "money".

What a bell end.  Someone obviously didn't do any research or watch any Eve You Tube videos before he tried the game. |
